“The way he is making unconstitutiol statements and trying to stroke fire in the hills is deplorable. We demand that he should immediately resign from his position in the Lok Sabha and also urge the BJP to immediately suspend him,” TMC Secretary General Partha Chatterjee said. “In spite of being democratically elected from West Bengal, he is making provocative statements and trying to break the integrity and sovereignty of India,” he said. Terming the GJM and other hill-based political parties’ decision to resign from the GTA, the development body in the North Bengal hills, as a “stunt”, Chatterjee said people can make out the reason behind such theatrical decisions.
